Abstract:
Let be a cyclotomic field with ring of integers and let be a polynomial whose values on belong to . If the ideal of generated by the values of on is itself, then every algebraic integer of may be written in the following form:
for some integer , where the 's are roots of unity of . Moreover, there are two effective constants and such that the least integer (for a fixed ) is less than , where
